Be it known that l, BAVM) C/insou, i1. citizen of the United Strtllfifi of itinerico, re siding at il illqinshurg, in the county of Allohave iii-- vented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Beds, of which the to.- lowing is c specification, re 'crence being; had therein to the eccom )cnying drawing.

This invention to iinpioveinonts in attachments for beds, and the object of my invention is to provide :1 bed ext-em sion that can be used as a, crib or for in creasing the-Width of o bed, whereby :1 single bed can be conveniently used by two persons.

My invention aims to provide a collapsible extension that can be easily and quickly set up and secured to a lied to provide a strong and durable structure and Wl'ien not in use can be folded and plcced'under the bed. lo this connection. my attachment is particularly designed for iron and moss beds, und in a peoranco is adopted to harmonize with the mish of the bed in connection with which the some is used.

The detail construction ol my invent on will be presently described and role we Will now be had to the drawing, wherein,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of :i hed equip fed with an attachment in accordance with 1; Us invention, Fig. is it cross tionil view of the some, and Fig. 3 is an end view of the attachment collapsed. V

tech in alile form of socket consists of a, sleeve mow elnly mounted. upon the pin 16 carried lug-the side ironic 13, said sleeve heing move l to engage projection 1'1" forming pert ol cosh. head and foot piece. Hinged to the lower ends of the posts 11 are legs 18 connected "by a longitudinal rod 19. The 18 are pro-- with casters 20 similar to the hed'snd u' count to the hinged ends thereof with or Lilimy casters 21, these casters acting in conjunction with the hearings 8 end the rolli ore 9 for supporting the attachment in a, collapsed condition and for facilitating the movement of sold cttochrnent The sidelmnio 18 is connected to the rcil fi" by collapsible links and the legs 18 are connected to said rolls by collapsible links 23, these links serving to maintain the side Emilio l3 and the l gs 18. in vertical shiremerit.
